An excellent soil for it will be such a mixture: leafy soil: humus: sand (3 : 2 : 1). As drainage, it is ideal to use lava with acadama. The root neck of the tree should not be buried - it should be above ground level.

Watering:

Fertilizer:
Once a year in early spring apply a complex fertilizer to the soil.

Repotting:
Recommended in the autumn, after the leaves have dropped. Young trees are repotted once a year. After repotting, it is recommended to mulch the soil using peat.

Wintering:
Cool overwintering at temperatures above zero and humidity of about 60% is necessary. Do not allow the soil to dry out.

Shaping and pruning:
Pruning allows the plant to stay healthy and beautiful. It is done at the end of winter or just after flowering. Flowering branches should be shortened by 2/3 of their length. This procedure stimulates the growth of new, healthy shoots. It is also necessary to cut all branches that grow inside the crown.
After pruning, all wounds should be covered with a special paste or sealant, as very viscous amber-colored gum is released from the wounds and this can be harmful to the plant.
